UFC 118 marks the promotion’s debut in Massachusetts, which only recently began regulating mixed martial arts.

“Without a doubt, Aug. 28 will be one of the highlights of my career,” UFC president Dana White stated. “I’m thrilled to bring the UFC to Boston for the first time in our history. Boston is one of the world’s greatest fight towns. Fans only expect the best, and we are bringing it with the rematch between B.J. Penn and Frankie Edgar, and the octagon debut of boxing legend James Toney versus one of the greatest UFC heavyweights of all time, Randy Couture.”

Tickets for the event go on sale beginning next week and range from $75 to $600.

UFC 118 also includes a UFC Fan Expo, a two-day fan festival held at the Hynes Convention Center from Aug. 27-28.
